RE: [office-collab] Using RDF for Change Tracking serialization?

["Dennis E. Hamilton" <dennis.hamilton@acm.org>]

Well, I can't speak to degrees of sorrow [;<).

My lingering question is, what does RDF provide for a custom change-tracking structure that can't be done directly and more straightforwardly in XML?  Then we can stick to the schema approach and tooling we already have in order to use XML in conveying an ODF document structure.  I can't figure out what a diversion through RDF technology and back again accomplishes.

Indeed, literals. No generic RDF system needs to know what I am doing at all. These triples are for the change tracking to see. The use of literals means that the generic system can be fine with just preserving them.

I wonder if your comment implies that I should be sorry answering too.
